Frabjous

George W. Hart

 


This is an 11-inch diameter sculpture made of laser-cut wood (aspen). It is assembled from thirty identical pieces.  Each is an elongated S-shaped form, with two openings.  It is similar geometrically to Bouquet, but is a one-of-a-kind piece and is very different visually. The aspen is quite light in color but the laser-cut edges are a rich contrasting brown. The openings add nicely to the whirling effect. The appearance is very different as one moves around it. Below is an image of how it appears looking straight down one of the vortices.

 

The word Frabjous comes, of course, from The Jaberwocky of Lewis Carroll. O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
